Days 97-99, What happens after the floors cure

DJ Glass delivered and installed our new glass sliding shower doors. We had original were going to install a glass door on the right side of the stall and a fixed glass panel on the left.

Darrell pointed out in another remodel how he got drench trying to turn on the shower water to ward the water. Based on that comment we opted to for a slider.
